  • Masterscriptie Staats- En Bestuursrecht
    Masterscriptie Staats- en Bestuursrecht Het vrije mandaat: feit of fictie? Beperkingen aan fractieafsplitsingen getoetst aan het vrije mandaat van Tweede Kamerleden Auteur A. (Arie) Vonk Noordegraaf LL.B. Studentnummer 3675386 Begeleider prof. mr. R. Nehmelman Datum 22 maart 2017 Sol Iustitiae Illustra Nos - Zon der Gerechtigheid, verlicht ons 2 Voorwoord Maartensdijk, 22 maart 2017 Met het afronden van mijn masterscriptie Staats- en Bestuursrecht komt er einde aan mijn studietijd aan de Universiteit Utrecht. Ik heb de afgelopen jaren enorm veel geleerd en ook genoten van de vele juridische vraagstukken die besproken werden. Na het afronden van de bachelor Rechtsgeleerdheid met een scriptie over de vrijheid van onderwijs was de master Staats- en Bestuursrecht een voor de hand liggende keuze. De master sloot goed aan op mijn (politieke) interesses. Hoewel ik zowel het staatsrecht als het bestuursrecht bestudeerde, ligt mijn hart toch echt bij het staatsrecht. Deze scriptie is daar een bewijs van. Het is mooi om juist in dit voorjaar mijn masterscriptie af te ronden. Het jaar 2017 is in het licht van het onderwerp van deze masterscriptie namelijk een bijzonder jaar. Het is dit jaar precies honderd jaar geleden dat in 1917 het stelsel van evenredige vertegenwoordiging werd ingevoerd. Het jaar 1917 is een keerpunt in de parlementaire geschiedenis van Nederland. Enerzijds is dit het begin van de hedendaagse parlementaire democratie. Anderzijds is de invoering van het stelsel van evenredige vertegenwoordiging ook een bedreiging voor het vrije en persoonlijke mandaat van Tweede Kamerleden. De partijmacht wordt groter terwijl individuele Tweede Kamerleden ook in 2017 worden geacht zonder last te stemmen.

  • Kalman Neuman
    New Politics, No Politics, and Antipolitics: The Dilemma of the Religious Right in Israel Kalman Neuman Different explanations have been offered for the widespread phenomenon of disillusionment, disengagement, and escape from politics in general or from involvement in formal political activity in particular. These include an aversion or disinterest in the political sphere altogether as a result of a change in sense of public and civic duty, a rejection of politicians as self-serving at best or corrupt at worse, or as a result of the convergence of the policies of political parties, who offer little to choose between them (Hay 2007, 56). How do these phenomena impact on the behavior of political parties? One result is the attraction to short-lived “non-political” parties that try to benefit from the disgust from established politics. The success of the Retirees’ party in the 2006 Israeli elections was an example of this trend (Susser 2007); it was expected that in the 2009 Israeli election parties focusing on environmental issues would benefit from such antipolitics. Established parties also tried to capitalize on such perceived tendencies. They try to attract new faces, untainted with the stain of being “politicians.”1 * At the conference in December 2008, Israel was entering an election campaign that culminated on February 10, 2009. I have tried to include events leading up to the election in an epilogue to this paper. 1 For example, in the recent Israeli elections the head of the left-wing Meretz party, Haim Oron, said that his party wants to attract votes from 333 Kalman Neuman What is the relative importance of the different factors? To the extent that escape from politics is caused by policy convergence that leads to the Tweedledee-Tweedledum perception that “they are all the same,” a party that offers (as Barry Goldwater did in the US elections in 1964) “a voice, not an echo” may be less affected.

  • Shabbat at Livnot
    Shabbat at Livnot The view from the Livnot Balcony Letters from Participants Collected November 2013 ust as Shabbat has bound the Jewish people together for centuries, so it has the potential to revitalize “J Jewish commitments among those for whom Jewish experience has lost its interest and edge…Our goal must be to make Shabbat a habit in the lives of this generation so that they experience the true ethos of the Jewish people: The ways in which the social, spiritual and sensual come together as one.” - Michael Steinhardt. An excerpt from an article which appeared in the Summer 2013 edition of Contact Magazine, the Journal of the Steinhardt Foundation for Jewish Life Dear Reader, This week, we began a concerted campaign to collect 1000 letters from Livnot participants describing their Shabbat experience at Livnot. What you see before you is a compilation of the first outcomes of this campaign- over 300 letters collected in just four days, and a constant flow of letters ever since. These letters come from a wide variety of participants, who experienced different Livnot programs over a span of our 34 years of existence. This effort was triggered by the recent article written by Birthright Israel co-founder Michael Steinhardt entitled “Shabbat is our Birthright.” The article describes the Shabbat experience as the central component to connecting young, unaffiliated Jews to their Judaism. We at Livnot share this belief in the value of Shabbat, and as a response to this article chose to share how the unique Shabbat experience at Livnot has significantly impacted our participants’ lives and connection to Judaism.
